My neighbour has a Yucca which is outgrowing its bounds. Would I be
correct that he can cut it back severely, and if so when should he do
so, and by how much should he cut it back?

Whenever he likes and by however much he likes. Robust little buggers yuccas
are!

They are extremely tough. Bas has dug ours out altogether over the last
22 years and it still keeps coming back.

I've taken many cuttings from Yucca - all took superbly well. Stewart's
neighbour could have many free ones too )

We have also done that and people seemed to have been pleased with them.
No-one has come back and said their yucca has produced lots of babies
but I'll bet they are just too polite to tell me.
